Don't you love our mediated, pre-formatted, stencil life! Real sport and direct personal interaction is bordering on vulgar already, as prophesied by various sci-fi writers. Bring on the 3-D environments! Upload me now!

Friends of mine have these dance-pad games and they are fun! They have apparently been using it for exercising too. It's a cool fad - fine, but why is it that playing with them gets boring fairly quickly for most, whereas say, throwing a ball around never does? - Too little novelty, to much predictability.

"It could be related to the environments in schools -- we sign lots of contracts with fast food chains and soft drink companies to promote the consumption of their products in schools, and we de-emphasize quality physical education."

-I'm getting a YART-attack<g> - I'm going somewhere called "outside" now - I'll report back later;-)

eta, at first I thought this is what your post was going to be about:

Rock it, don't stop it
Everybody get on the floor
Wake the party up
We about to get it on
Let me see you 1,2 step
I love it when you 1,2 step
Everybody 1,2 step
We about to get it on

I like this song.

Ciara or Missy Elliot I'd assume. Missy produced this second monster hit for her. Ain't any on par her who are in the US big leagues, IMO. It's a pretty sparse "song" that focusses on dance rather than melody. Here's a project - try to find a melody in the charts - period. If you do, I'm betting it's a tried-and-true cover version.
Sound has utterly displaced music in the industry - good stuff!
